Wow that's ALOT Of calories burned!! I run for an hour & a half and only burn 1100 calories. (I use a Polar HRM)

I'm just finishing up my 10K training, the run is next weekend. Been looking ahead to other events and there's a half marathon in October that I'd like to run. I got a half training schedule from my friend who works for a major running company.... while I don't mind dedicating myself to training, this one requires a 5 day…

Shred is an awesome alternative when you need to mix things up a bit! Seriously kicks your butt and gets you sweating. On average I get about an hour of cardio 6 days a week and I was sore the next day, this was after a 20 min session! :wink:

Welcome and good luck with your journey!! :wink:

I know isn't it weird that there's a 11.5/min mile and a 10/min mile but no 11 :( I wondered about that too. Congrats on your awesome run this morning BTW!! :smile: I had a quick 3K tempo earlier today, 12K LSD tomorrow morning.

I make my stove top oatmeal w/ vanilla almond breeze, ground flax & a diced banana. Top w/ a spoonful of peanut butter, more sliced banana, a few sliced almonds, sprinkle of mini chocolate chips and a few raisins. So good and EXTREMELY filling!

That is awesome! I've been struggling to get under 190lbs now for 3 months. I keep bouncing from 193-198 (mostly b/c I got frustrated etc.) But still. Congrats and Happy Friday!!

My WI this morning showed me down 5.4lbs from when I started this past Saturday. I know that most of that loss is from water retention b/c I've made a HUGE effort to eat nothing processed this week. Still puts a smile on my face this Friday morning!! Start Weight: 193.2 Goal Weight: 189.9

It provides your body with fuel. It maintains your blood sugar levels so that you don't end up feeling tired/lethargic. I've read lots of articles that basically state that people who don't eat breakfast tend to over eat at other times throughout the day because they're so hungry.

I just finished reading Jillian's Master book too and for fun I entered the ingredients off of my Johnson's Baby Lotion into google....quite the eyeopener :ohwell: I will be on the search for better beauty products next time I'm shopping.

Eat lots of grilled chicken, fish. When eating salads ask for the dressing/croutons/cheese on the side. Ask questions as to how certain foods are prepared so you know! Instead of having the whole sandwhich/wrap, eat half w/ a salad and get the other half wrapped up. Drink h20 with your meal to help fill you up. Start off…

Hey I'm new to MFP can I join this club? :smile: I'm currently training for a 10K which is the long weekend in May. Getting pretty excited for the race and VERY pleased with my over all improvement since starting the training. Last night I did a 5K Tempo, the weather was unusually warm. My body wasn't used to the huge…

Count me in please! I'm new to MFP and SO need this challenge. I want to be under 190lbs by 05/31/2009. That's approx 9lbs. I know I can do it!! :smile: Thanks for organizing it all!

Happy Birthday, awesome way to treat yourself!! I wish you the best of luck in your journey. :smile:

Have you tried PB2 - Powdered Peanut Butter & Chocolate Peanut Butter? It's basically dehydrated peanut butter - chemical free of course. Its great! I LOVE PB and AB and pretty much every nut butter out there. I sometimes will use this in place of PB if I want to limit my calories etc. 2tbsp of this stuff has approx 55…

Good luck! I'm doing my first 10K in two weeks and then plan to start training for my first Half (October.) I I started running about aa year and a half ago and LOVE LOVE LOVE the way I feel afterwards. Strong and fit! :)

IMO "dieting" is only a temporary solution. Changing your eating habits and developing an exercise routine will allow you to live a healthy life, permanently. :) 800 calories a day is starvation mode and the body will rebel. You're doing the right thing by eating within the guidelines set when you joined.

Just wanted to say Hi and introduce myself.... My name's Lynn, I'm a 26/F and over the past year & a half I've lost a little over 90lbs! (Yah!!) First by following WWs Points Online and then by tracking calories at Sparkpeople. Both of those tools have helped but since Christmas time I've been losing/gaining the same 5lbs…
